Buffs are an item of clothing that the contestants of Survivor wear to identify which tribe they are a member of for the audience.
In the context of Suitman's Survivor they are used purely for tribal recognition and decoration.
Design[]
Based on the motif of the season, the buffs typically match and follow a particular design regardless of the instalment. The buff shows three logos with a strip down the crease with a design relevant to the season's location or theme. Pre-merge tribe buffs also feature the name of the tribe imprinted between the logos, occasionally with their tribe insignia.
